Elizabeth, 25. I was "darling-liz" but my love for Professor McGonagall made me change my tumblr name. I love classic films and Judy Garland. I mostly post about Old Hollywood and I'm going through an Elizabeth Taylor and Alan Rickman phase at the moment. An eyebrow enthusiast who fears shadows, & being in contact w/loved ones. I'm blindingly pale prefer night to day...I lack creativity for a witty description of my tumblr. I was born in Siberia to Russian parent. Yuri, and Natasha. We hid out in a cold drafty shed for the first 4 years of my life until we were liberated by some Mongolians…that took me in who were then killed by some Mexicans who later raised me as one of their own. Now here I am. No more polio.
TUMBLR DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO LEAVE MOST PEOPLE MESSAGES ANYMORE. SO DON'T FEEL BAD IF YOU THINK I'M IGNORING YOU I'M NOT I JUST CAN'T REPLY TO ANYONE.

Happy Birthday Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962)
“She listens, wants, cares. I catch her laughing across a room and I bust up. Every pore of that lovely translucent skin is alive, open every moment - even though this world could make her vulnerable to being hurt. I would rather work with her than any other actress. I adore her.”
- Montgomery Clift
I got a cold chill. This girl had something I hadn’t seen since silent pictures.
She had a kind of fantastic beauty like Gloria Swanson, when a movie star had to look beautiful, and she got sex on a piece of film like Jean Harlow.
—Leon Shamroy, on MM’s 1946 screen test

“People always ask me if I believe diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Frankly, I don’t.”
Marilyn Monroe as Clara Bow, photographs by Richard Avedon, 1957
Happy birthday Marilyn!
“To have survived, she would have had to be either more cynical or even further from reality than she was. Instead, she was a poet on a street corner trying to recite to a crowd pulling at her clothes.” - Arthur Miller

“I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them better when they are right. You believe lies so that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together.”
Norma Jeane Baker aka Marilyn Monroe | June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962
